They have to be willing to pay for the blockspace. Ordinals isn't... Runes isn't, inscriptions generally speaking isn't either.
Citrea we will see if they want to pay, and the only way they'll pay is if the users want to pay to use them
Bisq Easy. Or even Bisq original I think has a cash in the mail option if you really don't want to use robosats.
Robosats will require a small bond paid in sats... So in my experience you have to start somewhere however RS easy to use with a little practice
I have huge respect for Bob Burnett (find him on x and YouTube as founder of barefoot) however I honestly do not support bip110.
I hope they know what they are doing.
So Americans are going to be widespread using bitcoin? And the government is going to not only accept it... But encourage it?
How will they endlessly print money and borrow to oblivion with bitcoin as an alternative???
One day you will wake up and realize the government... Hey maybe it's not your friend.
And maybe it doesn't want bitcoin to 'replace the dollar' right?
It just kind of surprises me... Because I use it every day.
When I 'got into' bitcoin or first heard about it/read up on it it was basically the same as today/almost the exact same vibe. So for me nothing has changed at all. I read about bitcoin and feel like I learn something new everyday
I can only speak for myself but I use bitcoin all the time
Permissionless Payments — Agents pay for services using stablecoins (USDC) over the openx402 protocol, with no logins, KYC, or human approval required.
Stablecoins aren't permissionless
I can't see how government wouldn't have Claude/Grok/Gemini/Gpt collect it all and analyze it all. Analyze an enormous number of patterns... If it isn't doing that already.
And then, when Covid happened, this was shown to be a complete farce, as the #1 most proud country in the world about privacy protection that exceeded even the EU laws (Germany) started using the mobile networks to literally track every person's movement during lockdowns and basically do mass surveillance of their own population. "The new normal" they called the set of Covid measures, on big billboards and stickers on the floors of train stations.
I remember this... I was in Germany at the time. Many requests to see my vaccination card.
They're hostile to sovereignty. So is the US. As is every state. The differences are minimal. US' attempt to reduce asymmetry in the Bill of Right has been largely neutered. But, back to my initial point, not on AI, lol.
There are many things I do like about Europe... However the individual sovereignty there is much worse than in the US. And when I say Europe I mean European Union.
Americans can have and do have a huge number of guns, Europe doesn't allow that at all. I think its terribly wrong to collect tax money from people and them disarm them it's unethical and poor governance. If you're responsible enough to pay taxes you're responsible enough to stay armed generally speaking.
If you're not American, you're fucking evil, because it really matters where on the planet your mom pushed your lil naked butt out. Born naked, yet marked for life.
I think this is a point people are missing... No restrictions apply to overseas surveillance. Of course if someone overseas communicates with someone domestic then...
The Biden people (of which I wasn't a fan OK?) on a bad day were probably better than these people on their best sorry
It doesn't make sense. Domestic mass surveillance is supposed to be illegal. And what is the purpose of the surveillance anyway?
There isn't any difference. Nobody really "wants" stablecoins... unless you're a Wall Street financier looking to collect on the interest... or have to choose between stable-dollars and hyper-inflating local currency.
When you should choose Bitcoin, instead...
Not to mention, I can't see the 'powers that be' greenlightning anonymous semi-autonomous AI agents making internet payments at all hours of the night and day to other anonymous semi-autonomous agents.
There would be no KYC and eventually some of the stables would get 'turned off.' How long would that take?
That we have a Capitol hill staffer hanging out with us here on Stacker... Is wild. I mean that in a good way but to me its just amazing.
If you don't mind me asking... The people you encounter and talk to in Washington...
How much do they actually know about bitcoin? Do any of them actually know lightning exists?
